Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dairy product processing, and more specifically, to a low-temperature automated sterilization device. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the health food industry, the demand for processing heat-sensitive, highly nutritious materials such as camel milk is increasing. These materials are extremely sensitive to temperature. If the cooling is uneven or the sterilization temperature is too high during processing, it can easily lead to the inactivation of active ingredients (such as immunoglobulins and probiotics), fat separation, or protein denaturation, seriously affecting product quality and nutritional value.
[0003] Existing patent publication number CN219961862U provides a low-temperature sterilization device for camel milk processing, which includes a refrigeration tank, a sterilization tank, a connecting pipe for connecting the refrigeration tank and the sterilization tank, a sterilization chamber disposed in the sterilization tank, an annular refrigeration plate disposed on the inner wall of the sterilization chamber, a refrigeration system for cooling the annular refrigeration plate, a stirring and scraping component disposed in the sterilization tank, and a sterilization component disposed in the sterilization tank. The top of the refrigeration tank is provided with a feed inlet, and a discharge pipe is provided on one side of the sterilization tank. This utility model can effectively prevent camel milk from sticking and freezing on the inner wall of the sterilization tank, resulting in better cooling of the camel milk and easier cleaning. It can also ensure that the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet sterilization lamp has sufficient contact with the camel milk, and the contact time between the camel milk and the ultraviolet light is longer, resulting in better sterilization effect of the camel milk.
[0004] However, this device still has some shortcomings in use. Its refrigeration relies on a single external cooling system (such as jacketed refrigeration) and depends solely on heat conduction through the tank wall. This results in a significant temperature difference between the center and the edge of the material, leading to uneven or slow cooling of the camel milk. Therefore, this invention provides a low-temperature automated sterilization device. Utility Model Content

[0024] This utility model discloses a low-temperature automated sterilization device. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 5 A low-temperature automated sterilization device includes a refrigeration mechanism 1 and a sterilization mechanism 2, which are connected to each other.
[0025] The refrigeration mechanism 1 includes a mixing tank 100, a refrigeration component, at least one refrigeration jacket 101, and a stirring paddle 102. The refrigeration component is disposed on the periphery of the mixing tank 100 to reduce the temperature inside the mixing tank 100. At least one refrigeration jacket 101 is disposed inside the mixing tank 100. Both the refrigeration component and the refrigeration jacket 101 are provided with pipes connecting to external cold air. The stirring paddle 102 is rotatably disposed inside the mixing tank 100, and a motor 103 for driving the stirring paddle 102 to rotate is disposed on the top of the mixing tank 100.
[0026] Specifically, the bottom of the mixing tank 100 is equipped with a support, and the top of the mixing tank 100 is connected to a feed pipe.
[0027] During use, camel milk is poured into the mixing tank 100 through the feed pipe. Then, cold air is delivered to the cooling components and cooling jacket 101 by external refrigeration equipment. The motor 103 drives the stirring paddle 102 to stir the camel milk in the mixing tank 100, thereby making the camel milk in the mixing tank 100 cool down evenly. At the same time, the cooling components and cooling jacket 101 work together to cool the camel milk from all directions.
[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the stirring paddle 102 is equipped with an inverted U-shaped scraper 104 for cleaning the inner wall of the mixing tank 100.
[0029] As the mixing paddle 102 rotates, the inverted U-shaped scraper 104 rotates on the inner wall of the mixing tank 100, thereby preventing camel milk from sticking and freezing on the inner wall of the mixing tank 100.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the refrigeration component includes a ring 105 sleeved around the mixing tank 100, and a circulation pipe is provided inside the ring 105.

Three refrigeration jackets 101 are installed inside the mixing tank 100 and are arranged in a ring connection. One refrigeration jacket 101 is equipped with an air inlet pipe, and the other is equipped with an exhaust pipe. The two air inlet pipes are connected by a T-junction and connected to a cold air pipe. The cold air is synchronously delivered to the refrigeration components and the refrigeration jacket 101 through the refrigeration equipment to cool the camel milk.
[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the sterilization mechanism 2 includes a sterilization chamber 200, and a mixing tank 100 is connected to the sterilization chamber 200 via a pipe. At least one L-shaped gathering plate 201 is provided inside the sterilization chamber 200, and an ultraviolet lamp group 202 corresponding to the top of the L-shaped gathering plate 201 is provided inside the sterilization chamber 200.
[0033] After the refrigeration unit 1 completes the refrigeration of camel milk, it is discharged into the sterilization unit 2. The sterilization unit 2 is used by the camel milk flowing onto the L-shaped collection plate 201, and then sterilized by the ultraviolet lamp group 202.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pipe connecting the mixing tank 100 and the sterilization chamber 200 is equipped with a transfer pump 203 in the middle. By setting the transfer pump 203, the amount of camel milk discharged can be controlled.
